There was no mention of it being streamed online in the press release last week, but I would check back later today. If there will be a stream, I'd expect them to have a link to it by mid-afternoon. I hope you get the chance to watch it, and that Lucas gets to play!
Well there was no stream but Lucas was able to play 45 solid minutes in the second half. Great experience for him!
Is anyone here hearing any rumors of an affiliation between the Timbers and USL's Sacramento Republic FC beginning next season?
From an unsubstantiated post on the Sac Republic thread... https://www.bigsoccer.com/community/threads/sac-republic-fc-affiliation-with-earthquakes.1991216/
Thanks. My two cents. All I've seen is Merritt bought the Beavers (Triple A baseball) and Timbers from Warren. The relationship ends there it appears. That was in 2007... A lot has changed for the Timbers and Merritt since then. The Timbers umbrella has the Timbers U-23 team as a PDL team to scout prospects, and a new PDL team is springing up in Eugene as well. The LA Blues have been a destination before for loans.
This article lacks any meaningful quotes, but for what it's worth... http://www.prostamerika.com/2013/11/13/timbers-sacramento/92818 By the way, the article did correctly mention a stadium announcement, as an 8,000 seat stadium may be slapped together at the state fairgrounds in time for 2014 first kick. So, there does seem to be some credibility here.
I'm sorry that it's not directly related to the Timbers Reserves...but for whatever reason I'm not allowed to post a new topic here. The link mentions that the NPSL is coming to both Oregon and WA. http://goalwa.wordpress.com/2013/12...-working-towards-announcing-washington-clubs/
http://www.npsl.info/home/774315.html team in Portland (east of river) and Hood River so far. more announced soon.
Have PTFC decided what they are going to do next year? I have heard rumors of a PTFC II in 2015, like what Seattle and Van City are doing
I heard a rumour of a USL PRO team in Salem. Another option would be help get Lane united into the USL PRO and have them. But currently their relationship with Sacramento Republic does fine.

Great player at USL level. I would say something about a step up in quality but to be honest after the NASL club's performance in the USOC I don't think there will be any problem.

http://www.stumptownfooty.com/2016/1/6/10725704/andrew-gregor-named-portland-timbers-2-head-coach One of Vidovich's assistant coaches with T2 and a former Timbers Academy coach, Gregor appears to be well-regarded within the Timbers organization as an up and coming coaching talent, particularly after winning the 2014-15 U-15/16 West Conference Coach of the Year with the Academy.
Anyone got a prediction for the columbus game? I'm guessing its gonna be a draw or a loss. Columbus does not look terrible and theyre probably not in the best mood after December. Worried about our D too. Hopefully Villafana being gone doesn't come back to haunt us. wrote this preview let me know what you think serious Timbers fans http://hotfooty.com/soccer-news/portland-timbers-vs-columbus-crew-preview-mls-week-1-2016/
